Faux Silk Technique

Creating a faux silk background for this card was so much easier than I thought it would be. The ladies at Sunny challenges have made this technique part of their challenge this week. There is a link on their blog post to an easy to follow tutorial on splitcoast stampers. When I first saw the effect it gives I thought it would be perfect for a soft, girly vintage card for my daughter's 12th birthday. But Isobel is not the vintage type, nor even particularly girly so I wasn't sure how this would work on a more modern looking card. But I did get to use the sparkly glimmer brads I have been hoarding!

I am sure your daughter will love her card as I do Carole. The way you have used your colours are sensational. I am so glad you enjoyed the technique. Thanks for playing along with us at Sunny Challenges & Creations
